Apple mail inbox disappears every time I tab back to it

I have two monitors and I hate the new Mail. Mostly because I can't open a window and drag it to the other screen. But my big problem is that I use command tab to move from app to app and every time I tab back to mail, nothing is visible. I have to go to window: inbox. Then I can see the inbox again. Also, it's the only program that when I am on it, the left hand screen goes black. I took "spaces" off, but there must be some other pref on that I don't know about. OS 10.10.2. Mail 8.2 on Mac Pro.

Does the same thing happen with only one display connected?

  • Mail inbox reloads every time mail is fetched

    I'll be sitting here reading a message and then mail will try and connect to the servers to check for new mail. The mail I was reading in the preview pane vanishes, the mail list reloads one mailbox at a time, usually very quickly and if the list was scrolled down at all, the list will be scrolled to the newest mail again.
    It's driving me mad. Ideas? It just started doing it with the last update. I have an exchange 2007, 2003, and 4 IMAPs in my inbox.

    I can only guess that something during the update caused a forced reindexing, without removing the account folders as is prescribed in:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
    Redo this, and note that with IMAP or Exchange accounts, there is the special treatment requiring removal of the account folders. Have you ever intentionally removed the Envelope Index without removing the account folders, by any chance?
    After you do this, you should again test.

  • The new firefox twitter app is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

    The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

    Eustace, thank you so much for writing back.  I will try what you suggested!!
    thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport).  I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault.  apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
    Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead.  I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
    anyway - that's THAT sad story.  I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed. 
    I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever.  I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

    Hi Nuch1,
    I found an article that is contains very thorough Mail troubleshooting steps:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    You can use that article to figure out what part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, and it can also help you attempt to resolve it.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I stop my toolbar buttons disappearing every time I restart Firefox?

    My toolbar buttons disappear every time I restart Firefox 4.0.1. They used to disappear only every week or so. Then I tried the recommended fix at "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox" dealing with file places.sqlite. Now they disappear every time I start, which is several times a day due to RAM usage sometimes approaching 1GB after a few hours. I am on Win 7 and have customized with tabs on bottom and to display the menu bar and put my buttons at top to save space. This is driving me insane. I have to re-customize the toolbars every time I open the browser. I did not have this problem with Ff 3.6. I have tried the safe mode and checked add-ons 1 at a time. Nothing changes except now it's every time instead of every week or so. I cannot switch to Chrome full time because they don't have all the add-ons I need for work. Please help.

    If you lose the toolbar customization then you do not have a problem with places.sqlite, but with the file localstore.rdf in the [[Profiles|Profile folder]].

  • 3G signal disappears every time while making phone calls

    Hi all,
    After my iPhone was updated to 4.2.1, the 3G signal disappears every time while I make phone calls, but if it is hooked up with WiFi then it would be fine. Does the same problem happen to anyone of you? Any suggestions?
    Thanks a lot

    I have had similar problems. I-Phone worked beautifully for about 3 weeks the I started getting static on my end. I did some research and narrowed down the fact that the static was only heard on my end. It started just sporadically but is now about 85% of the time when Imake calls. It happens in multiple locations and cities. The caller on the other end never hears it. There is no problem with speaker phone or playing music etc...It happens when calling hard lines as well as wireless (ie...verified calls to Sprint, Verizon, Nextel wireless callers as well as Government Land Lines, Verizon home phone and Comcast Ip Phone callers) Stopped in to AT&T and they looked at me funny and suggested I ask Apple to replace the phone.

    On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update.  Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod?  Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?

    - Have you tried another USB port and cable?
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Bookmarks toolbar disappears every time I close the browser. Have tried all recommendations.

    I have been running Chrome from several versions back when Firefox became very slow. I am now trying to switch back to Firefox. I have 27.0.1. My bookmarks toolbar disappears every time I close the browser. I have tried all recommendations I can find including reset and renaming, etc, but nothing has cured the problem. Restore to default used to work for the current session, but now that does not work. I am about to give up and stick with Chrome as this bookmark toolbar issue is driving me nuts. I am about to try uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling. And that will be my last resort unless I get a solution to this problem. I have been a Firefox user from the very beginning up till 16 or 17 and like Firefox, but this seems to be a common occurrence from my research. BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR IS A MUST HAVE!

    Hello,
    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
    #Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    #*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
    #*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
    # At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
    # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
    # In the new window that appears, click OK.
    # Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
    For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

    Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

    Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

  • Apple ID password login every time I used an application

    Hello,
    I'm getting an Apple ID Password Login every time I used an application, phone (Verizon, iPhone 4), or any other programs.  I login correctly and it still ask me to login again.  I don't think my phone needs to get any updates, becasue I update my phone and applications when I get home at night.
    Anyone having this problem?  This is annoying!

  • Items in my mail inbox disappeared.

    Items in my mail inbox disappeared.  I tried a rebuild but nothing happened.  Any suggestions how to get the inbox populated again?  Thanks.

    I had the same problem and your mail isn't lost forever. It's still sitting on the server in California. Here is what I had to do to get mail back up and running..... I had to go to mail preferences and delete my account and then reset it. It was a bit of a chance but I had already backed up my system before upgrading to 10.5 so I wasn't too concerned. My reset worked beautifully and all of my mail came back up in a matter of seconds. In my case there seemed to be an error in outgoing server recognition and once I reset it all was well. Hope this helps and good luck!
